Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g tuna in oil, drained
- 2 eggs
- 300 g potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 20 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 g breadcrumbs + 50 g for coating
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes and let them cool. Sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mash them with a fork.
- Add drained tuna, eggs, grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Add 50 g of breadcrumbs and mix well again.
- Place the remaining breadcrumbs for coating in a small bowl.
- Shape the meatball with oily hands and coat them with breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the meatballs, turning them often, until lightly golden brown.

Notes
- You can also replace parley with basil leaves.
- For more flavour, add some lemon zest.
- Prepare some creamy sauce for serving, like sour cream with chives and cucumber.
- For a healthier version, you can bake them in the oven for 25 minutes at 180°C. In that case, it is better to press each meatball and make them disk-like.
